Former President and Prime Minister Eddie Fenech Adami underwent an intervention during which a pacemaker was embedded. "He is recovering well," a department of information statement said today, quoting Mater Dei Hospital.

According to sources, Fenech Adami, 77 is expected to leave hospital later today.

The former Head of State fell ill yesterday while having lunch at a Gzira restaurant with his son Beppe, former President Ugo Mifsud Bonnici, former PN President Victor Scerri and Minister Austin Gatt.

He was taken with a private car to the Gzira Health Centre and later taken by ambulance to Mater Dei Hospital where he was submitted to a series of tests.

It was initially supected that Fenech Adami, 77 suffered a slight heart attack.

His condition this morning was said to be stable and is expected to remain in hospital for a few days.

Last August, his wife Mary passed away after suffering a heart attack.

Here's hoping that he was not left waiting for months to have a critical operation or put in a bed in the corridor miskien - not something any citizen should endure.

Having a pace maker means one thing, no more excitment so just be good to yourself and keep your nose out of politics. So good luck, your body has given you a warning heed it.

I wonder what the witch of Bidnija have to say about Dr. Adami. When Mintoff was in hospital, she said that she can't wait to piss on his grave.WE labourites have no such hate within us, so have a speedy recovery Dr. Adami.
